           Summary: KonsolePart: “Start in same directory as current
                    session” is ineffective

  Target Milestone: ---

Hello. I don't know since when this bug exists, but the profile setting:

General > General Settings > Start in same directory as current session

(which is below “Initial Directory”) is totally ineffective. IIUC Profiles are
common to both Konsole and Yakuake and I confirm that at least for my version
it exists. Opening new sessions whether in Konsole or Yakuake always goes to
the Home directory and not the same as current session.

I remember very well that long back this feature existed (it should, else why
the option!) but it stopped working at some point. I see that around 6 years
back also this is mentioned on the net:
(https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a2n8c2/users_of_yakuake_what_features_would_you_like_to/)

So please look into this and restore this functionality.
